You won't regret it, it's excellent

I went with my Mrs on Sunday for the roast. The only time we could get was 12pm as the Sunday Roast gets booked up weeks in advance

We went for the all in, a huge platter of Roast Lamb, Pork and Beef. Veggies, Roast Potatoes, huge Yorkshire Puds, crackling, and a lovely dish of gravy they happily keep topped up for you. We had additional sides of Horseradish and Mint (£1 each) and a side of Cauliflower Cheese which was declicious

I had a few of their homebrew beers and the Mrs had a few cocktails

The bill was about £65 which inc a tip, the staff are excellent

A solid 9 out of 10. I can't wait to go back.

On Sunday I visited the Boot at Bledlow Ridge for a family birthday. This used to be a pub in a small community which went bust about 10 years ago. About 5 years ago the locals bought it and opened it up again as a country pub restaurant. good homely food. I had whitebait, pork belly with all the trimmings and sticky toffee pudding all washed down with 3 pints of Guiness.

After reading on here the other week about Blacklock - i booked it for the end of january as part of the wifes birthday celebrations and im really pleased that i did

It was the wifes birthday and they gave us prosseco upon arrival - the food was excellent as was the service - mrs asked them how to cook one of the sides and they told us - shes gonna try at home soon

they then brought out the rhubarb cheesecake with a candle in it - which was also delicious

Went to an upmarket fine dining Michelin starred Indian last night. What what what.

Tandoori Cod - SuperbRack of Lamb to share - superbly superb. Melt in the mouth good.Chocolate fondant with Caramel and Peanut butter ice cream - one of the most well put together desserts I've ever eaten.

All washed down with a bottle of claret

I was lucky enough to be on a work evening so wasn't net account, otherwise I wouldn't be in there for dinner unless it was a special occasion!

No poppadoms though, so can they really call it an Indian?

9.5/10.

Edit: would help if I told you the name of the place! The Cinnamon Club

Got taken in here by an old mate for a breakfast business meeting. It's really well decorated and turned out, but you can see ( at 11 am) it has a real business meeting vibe. It's a place business people go for breakfast and early meetings, I suspect, given the amount of suits, business literature on the table and briefcases that abounded.

There was a limited menu for me, but as soon as I mentioned that I was a vegan, there were a lot of suggestions -They even made sure there was no eggs in the hash browns - and I ended up with a fry up.: beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, hash browns and fried bread. That plus 3 cups of really decent coffee and a pink grapefruit juice - all very nice, topped off by really helpful service.

The bogs were fantastic, but about a minutes walk away upstairs in the hotel. I lucked up as the hotel was being used as some kind of model make-up session and there were about 30 or so really cracking women wandering about, some in their skimpies

All -in all a very pleasant morning (my friend loved her meat based full English btw) and a very pleasant place to have breakfast. I can't comment on the prices as the bill was paid for me.

TBH it looked all above board. There were lots of people with massive - think table tennis table -sized- make up kits, people had name tags and ID badges and it had door women checking who came in and out. Women were being made up and it looked as if seminars were being given on make up techniques. There were also ranges of clothes (think catwalk stuff) and women were changing into them. I felt like I was behind the scenes at a catwalk rather than in a brothel - though I understand (having been not been to either a brothel or the back of a cat walk tbvh) the two can be quite similar at times.

I've heard a lot of people rave about Bleeker Burger but I've yet to go. Someone told me they had a Hawksmoore burger the other day which they said was superb but I'd struggle to go there and not order steak.
